Come Meet Frances Wright! Ms. Wright, was a Scottish-born American social reformer whose revolutionary views on religion, education, marriage, birth control, and other matters made her both a popular author and lecturer and a target of vilification in the early 1800s.

Frances Wright will be portrayed by Sally Drucker. Ms. Drucker has performed at Chautauquas around the country for over 25 years.

In addition to portraying Frances Wright, her other performances include Emma Goldman, Rosie the Riveter and Betty Friedan.

She also taught a workshop about getting started in a Chautauqua at the Greater Astoria Historical Society.
